I am currently a little bit proud of myself. I did some stuff today that I've been putting off for too long. For instance, I finally sent e-mails to UW and UDenver's admissions offices telling them that I will not be attending. I've been putting it off for a while cause I didn't want to get locked into a final decision, but it was TIME to get locked into a final decision. So, Texas it is, for sure, even if I don't end up getting this teacher I want. I've burned my UW and UD bridges! (For the record, this is the second time I've been accepted to UW and rejected their offer of admission. I probably should stop applying there.)
Even though it only took me a couple of minutes to e-mail them, it was a couple of weeks in the making. Now I've done it.
I also called my voice teacher and my accompanist to plan lesson times and to figure out recording stuff in the next couple of weeks. Neither of them answered their phones, but at least I got the ball rolling, right?
I paid my bills, ordered a theory book online (I found a used copy on amazon that's half the price of the new copy on the oxford university press website- yay!) so now once that comes I can start studying for my theory placement exams in earnest. Yay? Well, it may not be fun, but it must be done.
On the agenda next: get my car in for emissions testing, turn in library books, and find a freaking place to live in Denton. That's kind of scary and daunting considering I'm a couple thousand miles away and have to do all of that via internet.

I keep forgetting I work tonight. I'm pretty worn out (I slept in til almost 10 this morning) after working 3 very intense and long shifts in a row. I know, I know, I'm just a server, but working in a restaurant during Mother's Day, graduation, and prom time really is intense and exhausting. Everything actually went really well for me...I made lots of money and had some really cool large groups that made me work hard, but were fun people and compensated me well. I made $130 off of one large table last night. It was sweet.
I am extremely happy that the weekend is over, however, and am hoping for a slow night tonight. Ooooh, it would be SO nice to get home at a decent hour. Hell, I don't care if I make $5, i hope we close early!

I think I'm going to look into more apartments in Denton online. And then maybe I should practice for a little while. Right now, all i really wanna do is take a nap. Geez.

song: "Sunday Morning Coming Down" Johnny Cash and "Tie Her Down" by Senses Fail (two COMPLETELY different songs...both titles end in the word down though...weird.)

yesterday // life goes on

I'd love to turn you on...
